Chapter 147: First Meeting with Conan

…

"Damn it..."

"You little brats! You can't get away!"

Conan Edogawa ran downstairs. His small figure was like a loach and he quickly evaded the pursuit of several people.

After the group of people had all run to the next floor, he walked out cautiously, looked around, ran to the window, and tried to write "SOS" on the window to ask for help.

"Conan, where have you been?" A small voice came from the detective badge.

"I'm on the seventh floor." Edogawa Conan whispered, "You guys hide first, don't make any noise or you'll be discovered. I'll be able to send out a distress signal soon."

"Conan, Genta and I are on the ninth floor. I don't know where Mitsuhiko has gone... Mitsuhiko, are you listening?"

"Tsk! Let's talk later!" another voice said in panic.

Conan Edogawa looked around, pulled a chair to the window, and stepped on it.

Conan Edogawa, also known as Kudo Shinichi, was ambushed by someone behind him when he was eavesdropping on a deal between two men in black not long ago. He was forced to drink a magical drug and turned into a child.

Because the matter was of great importance, he concealed the truth from everyone. Even his childhood sweetheart Mouri Ran didn't know that he was the missing high school detective Kudo Shinichi.

Now, the three classmates from his current elementary school are in contact with him using the detective badge.

They are trapped in this department store, and the lingering robbers are looking for them everywhere.

"Damn it! Turning into a child makes everything inconvenient!" Conan Edogawa was very annoyed.

Every second wasted could put him and the group of kids in greater danger.

He stood on tiptoe, approached the window, and nearly fell because he misjudged the length of his arms.

After finally writing a huge "SOS" with a white paint pen, the lights on the floor suddenly lit up!

When Edogawa Conan turned his head, he saw the red light of the camera aimed at him.

Oh no!

The group used surveillance to locate them!

"Be careful of surveillance!" Conan Edogawa shouted to the detective badge.

"Run! We've been discovered!" There was a commotion over there.

"Ayumi! Be careful!"

Conan Edogawa hurried to the stairs, intending to help them, but as soon as he reached the stairs, he almost bumped into someone who was coming up.

Edogawa Conan's pupils shrank, he quickly steadied his body and rushed upstairs!

He thought he could escape with his reaction speed.

But he had only taken two steps when someone behind him grabbed him by the collar!

In the quick glance just now, the man was obviously very thin, but he was extremely strong. He struggled desperately but failed to break free.

"Child?" The man's voice rose in a pleasant tone.

Edogawa turned around and was about to resist when he was met with a pair of light golden eyes.

He froze for a moment, cold sweat breaking out on his back.

These eyes...

[“If you don’t want to die, get out of here.” On the cruise ship, the mysterious man he met helped him kill the pursuer, and then pointed the gun at him.]

The police ultimately did not find the murderer in that case.

Is it him?

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The masked young man noticed his emotions, his voice became as soft as cotton candy, and he let him go: "Did you get separated from your parents and fail to leave the department store before closing?"

The young man's breath was clean and gentle, and his eyes were bright and clear, completely different from the person I met that night.

It shouldn't be a person.

Conan Edogawa's wildly beating heart finally calmed down a little, but he still did not let his guard down.

"Brother, who are you?" He pretended to be timid.

"Are you asking if my brother is in league with those thieves?" The young man bent down, straightened Conan Edogawa's crooked bow tie, and said in a very soft voice, "No, you can trust my brother."

There was a hint of smile in his eyes: "I am a policeman."

Conan Edogawa was stunned for a moment, then began to analyze subconsciously.

Police? Is there a person here now?

The posture is very casual, but it may be a disguise.

There are coils on the fingertips, and the position is consistent with the habit of long-term gun use.

Friendly, quick to react, seems to have something in his pocket...

But most importantly...

“Why are you wearing a mask?”

"Because I can't let those criminals see my face." The young man didn't explain much, but asked: "Have you and your companions been discovered?"

"How...did you know?"

"After all, I am an invincible and handsome police officer."

Conan Edogawa is trying to find something wrong and is on guard: "?"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" The young man widened his eyes: "Don't I look handsome?"

"…" Conan Edogawa.

Is this the point?

"Or do you think I'm not invincible?"

“…”

No...it's impossible for anyone to be invincible.

What!

What a weird topic!

Just as Conan Edogawa was about to say something, a voice came from the detective badge: "Conan, what should we do? Ayumi has been caught!"

His eyes changed slightly.

"Conan." The person next to him suddenly shouted.

Conan Edogawa raised his head subconsciously.

The young man held his hand, his golden eyes shining with the warmth of the sun: "Don't worry, I will get you and your friends out safely."

"Thank you, police brother..."

"So, are you willing to be a little policeman again and work with your brother to catch those thieves?"

Edogawa Conan nodded: "I do!"

This person... If I were really just a child, I would have let down my guard against strangers and been aroused by him, right?

But is he really a policeman?

Conan Edogawa lowered his head, the light in his eyes was wise and bright.

But the corners of his mouth twitched a little.

The reason is... he was being carried by the other party while running.

Although I understand that this is for faster movement, but... ah! As expected, as a high school student, it is still very strange to be hugged like this by someone who is only a few years older than me!

He lowered his head lower and lower, trying to cover his face.

…

Ten minutes later, Conan Edogawa and the three rescued children ran into the elevator together.

The slender police officer was the last to come in and closed the elevator door, locking the blocker out.

"We're saved." Kojima Genta sat down on the ground, panting.

"I'm so tired!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also leaned against the wall and gasped for breath.

The only girl, Ayumi Yoshida, quietly tugged at Conan Edogawa's clothes and said, "Conan, who is this big brother?"

Conan Edogawa said, "It's a policeman! His name is..." It seemed that he just remembered that he didn't know the young man's name. He raised his innocent eyes and said, "Brother, what's your name?"

"Yu Ren Ling." The young man said, "My name is Yu Ren Ling, and I'm a very popular police officer in the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"…" Edogawa Conan, why do you want to emphasize that you have great relationships with people?

But the three innocent children didn't notice this. They all became alert and excited.

"Is my brother a policeman?!"

"No wonder you are so good at fighting!"

"Great! Officer, are you here to save us?"

Yu Renling confirmed this statement: "Yes, I received a call for help and came here to save you. Follow me closely, understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Officer, why are you wearing a mask?"

"Because some of the thieves had seen my face, in order to avoid being recognized and making a fuss, I had to cover my face."

"So that's it!" The children believed it:

"But there are so many of them. Officer, can you do it alone? Where are your colleagues?"

"They are already outside the building. As long as I send a signal, they can come in." Yu Renling touched Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's head, and the smile on his lips was convincing.

But Conan Edogawa knew he was lying.

Although I don't know why he is here, there are definitely no other policemen outside the building. In fact, he is probably the only one who knows what happened in the department store.

Because the call for help couldn't be made at all.

"Ding." The elevator did not reach the floor they pressed, but stopped and slowly opened.

Conan Edogawa quickly pressed the closing button and the elevator door closed, but soon it was forced open again.

"They controlled the elevator in the control room." Hane Ling pulled Edogawa Conan behind him.

As the elevator door opened, the remaining three children hid behind Yu Renling.

"Great, you are all okay!" Unexpectedly, the people outside the elevator were not the gangsters, but a lady who had been caught before.

She was very happy and anxious, saying, "I and a few employees escaped while they were chasing you. Come on, let's escape together!"

"It's you!" Yoshida Ayumi recognized her.

"We've seen her before. She's the elevator girl in this supermarket." Conan Edogawa covered his mouth and explained in a low voice to Hanei Ling.

But the volume was so loud that everyone could hear it, and only the children thought they were hiding it.

The young police officer nodded and walked out: "How many of you are there? Let's go together. It's safer in numbers."

The woman asked warily, "Who are you?"

Edogawa Conan pushed his glasses, what would Hane Ling say?

"police."

Conan Edogawa was slightly stunned. He just said it directly?

He didn't think Yu Renling couldn't see through this simple deception.

"What?!" the elevator lady was shocked.

police?!

"Would you like to see my police ID?" Yu Renling walked towards the elevator lady.

The elevator lady took a step back.

Yu Renling seemed not to notice anything was wrong and went straight to the elevator lady. The elevator lady suddenly pulled out a gun and shot him in the heart.

"Ah!" The children in the elevator were frightened when they saw this scene.

"Brother police officer!"

"careful!"

In a flash, the elevator lady's bullet was fired.

—shot herself in the leg.

Because even though the gun was still in her hand, the young man had taken control of her.

"Ah!" The woman screamed and fell to the ground, and the gun was taken into the hands of the young man.

"I'm so sorry, miss, are you the leader of this gang?" The young man bent down and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at the woman's head.

The four children in the elevator were stunned.

"You...you can't be a policeman! Who are you?" The woman looked at the young man in horror.

Yu Renling let out a little laugh.

The sound was short and contained a hint of sarcasm and ridicule.

He had his back to the elevator, and Edogawa Conan only saw him reach out and pull the mask down a little, and then the woman's pupils shrank and her face turned as pale as snow.

"You are...where..."

"I was just wondering what your next move would be, and you guys offered it to me." His finger was on the trigger, smiling lazily, "Then I'll accept this gift."
